Just wondered what people's opinions are on this. So it was my birthday today, me and my fiancée went out for a meal which he paid for Saturday eve. Saturday daytime he said he needed to nip in the shops when we were in town and get me a card and present as he hadn't had time (work has been v.busy). He asked what I wanted and I said I wasn't sure, as the shops were so busy I said not to worry and he said he would transfer me money which he did.
This morning he didn't get me a cake, put up any banners/breakfast in bed/no flowers/chocolates. I'm not materialistic at all and I prefer thoughtful little surprises like this to anything else. I always do things like this for his birthday. My feelings are hurt but he is loving in other ways. Starting to feel like he maybe is taking me for granted and doesn't feel like he needs to make the effort anymore. I think even if work is busy and he hasn't had time to go shopping he could order a present online, AIBU?
